Commercials
I found that manipulation was quite popular in the commercials I critiqued. They did this in a number of forms. My absolute favorite was the poster-child technique; it really hurt me viewing some of the commercials as I looked back on my childhood. Presently, I think that manufacturers could care less how they mold a young mind, to buy a single product that was made from the backs of the underpaid. They’ll do anything to entice you, to grow an affinity for their product, such as popular music, flashing colors, or a sweet soprano voice.
I’m quite glad we had this assignment, because it really opened my mind to the true distortion that childhood profiteers use. Though I only criticized four commercials, the rest are all the same. Complex colors, complex music, complex voices, and complex models; all with a simple message- buy our product it’s the only way to freedom!

A couple of years ago, I was driving along the road with my dad. I asked him, “why are there more plastic products along the curve and not any paper products; he said, “it’s because plastic takes longer to degrade, and some plastics can survive for hundreds of years. Paper on the other hand, degrades quickly and recycling is a lot easier.”
There is a great problem with this however. Plastic is made out of oil products, and oil is in danger of being a costly and rare item in the near future. Plus, paper is not a reasonable resource because, trees are decreasing in number, and paper can only be used in certain situations- you can’t drink a sierra mist out of a paper bottle.
If only we can invent a type of plastic that is not made of oil and is degradable within days of being discarded. Furthermore a paper that isn’t made out of trees.
It is not a question of paper vs. plastic- it is a matter of finding a new resource. Everyday, we sacrifice hundreds of thousands of trees, and innumerable gallons of oil to fuel our economy. This must stop, our thirst for these products will not end in a comfortable resolve, a lot must be sacrificed. We have to find that miracle compound, though I cannot hint onto what this miracle resource would be consisted of, I only know that in our vast world of various matter, it has to exist.
